several priests, moved toward Ballycoree

magistrate, rode up where the procession
had halted. Turner ordered the meeting
to disperse within five minutes Stanhope
handed Col Turner copy of the reso-
lutions adopted by the meeting, claiming
home rule adherence to Parnell, thanking
the liberal party for pledgng resistance to
the proclamation of the league, and de-
nouncing land grabbing. Stanhope de-
clared the proceedings legal, and that if
collision occurred between the people and
the troops he would hold Col. Turner re-
spOnsibie.
Turner replied he was bound to exc
cute his orders. After parley the pro-
cession returned to Ennis O'Bren ad-
dressed the crowd in O'Connell square.
The soldiers and police again appeared
and the procession passed on to hotel
which the leaders entered. The crowd
then dispersed quietly.

Report on the Chicago PostOffioe- Repub-
licans May Apply, but They Don't.

A Washington dispatch says Commission
ers Edgerton and Lyman of the civil service
commission have reported on the alleged
abuses in the Chicago postoflice, The in
quiry consisted mainly of an inspection of
the books and files of the board of examn
ers of that Office, an inquiry concerning the
methods of the board and the procuring
from the postmaster of statement showing
the force and organization of the postofiice
when Mr.. Judd became postmaster and the
same at the time of the investigation and
the changes in the organization and force
during Mr.. judd administration. The large
excess of appointments over removals, res
ignations, deaths, etc, adds the report, is
accounted for in part by the failure of CON
siderable number to report when appointed,
to refusal of others to accept appointments
and in part by the increase in the force.
The commissioners say that while they did
not learn what proportion of the appoint
nents are democrats and what republicans
still they think it probable that the great
majority of them are democrats This they
attribute to the preponderance of the demo
cratic over republican applicants, induced,
no doubt, by the feeling in the community
that the chances of appointment were vastly
| in favor of the democrats. The commits

every city where there is classified post
